Nasdaq 100 Plans Special Rebalance To Curb Dominance Of 'Magnificent Seven'
This article from Investor’s Business Daily may be of interest. Here is a section:
Based on Nasdaq 100 methodology, the combined weight of the five companies with the largest market caps will be set to 38.5%. The five-largest companies, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Nvidia had a combined weight of 46.7%. That suggests some notable reduced weightings for these names.
Meanwhile, no component outside the top-five market cap companies can have a Nasdaq 100 exceeding the lesser of 4.4% or the weight of the stock with the fifth-largest market valuation. That points to at least a slight decline in TSLA stock's weight.
The official reweightings should be released on Friday, perhaps after the close. That will also include stocks that will see increased weightings.
The Nasdaq-100 may have less money following it than the S&P500. However, many of the most liquid options are attached to the index and mega-cap stocks. The Invesco QQQ ETF has an NAV of $200 billion. Readjusting weightings away from the largest constituents over the next two weeks represents a clear risk of mean reversion while also favouring the smallest constituents of the Index.
